Stranger

I am running to find something I am desperately missing. When frantically running thorough town there are no people around. Everything is empty. Shops are open but no one is inside and though music is playing in the streets there is no one to hear it except me. Newspapers get blown about at my feet and the stop lights turn with no one to accept them. At the end of the street I see someone just standing there. I yell a greeting but get no response. I wave once, still nothing. I walk closer and get the urge to run. They are still blocks  away. I see them lean backwards with no attempt to break their fall. I walk up next to the body laying in the street and recognize who they are in confusion. Its me.
